how to give input interms of cylindrical coordinates to the 3d surface plot

[achyuth]

hi p,lease let me know how to give input to the 3d surface in terms of cylindrical coordinates

Hi,

This is the functions you should be using:

Also, please have a look at the NI Example Finder, i think the 1st and the 4th example will be of interest to you.

Hope this helps...

hi, using htis we can give input interms of catesian coordinates(ie x,y,z).

but how to give input intrems of cylindrical coordinates directly(ie r,theta,z)

Check your version for the Mathematics, Geometry, 3D coordinate Conversion vi from the tool pallete. This will let you convert your cylindrical coordinates into cartesian to work with the surface plot format.
